This is one of the reasons that I suggested a sibling list instead of moderating
the EJB-INTEREST list directly. I didn't want to impose a moderated list on
people. I just wanted to provide an alternative free of certain posts. People
would still post to the EJB-INTEREST but could subscribe to the moderated list as
a filter when receiving posts.
There is an effort to see if the EJB-INTEREST mailing list itself could be
moderated. I could do that instead of using a sibling list, but I would
personally prefer a separate list.
The list address I would use is [EMAIL PROTECTED] It would be free
of advertising and would only be used for EJB-INTEREST posts. That way if people
like Ian prefer not be subject to the decisions of a moderator they can subscribe
only to the regular mailing list.
